In Kilkenny, it was all about the fundamentals. Anything outside of that was deemed a ‘gimmick’. They saw gimmicks in Cork and Clare, according to seven-time All-Ireland winner Richie Hogan.

The four-time All-Star retired in 2023, having made his championship debut in 2008. Speaking on GAA+’s Ratified show, Hogan explained how Kilkenny valued the basics above all else.
